The Great American Desert,

When railroads first touched the Missis-
sippi river at Burlington-about 1852 or
1853 it must have been-a great celebration
was held on the east bank and a commend
able glorification indulged in. The speakers
we're Stephen A. Douglas and Lewis Cas-.
Mr. Cass in his speech referred to the fact
that, according to all school histories and
biographies previous to that time they must
have been very near the great American
desert; but, he said, las this desert constantly
recedes as we approach it it will probably
be found there is no desert at all. "
Men now under so years of age when at
school studied Biographies which located tho
American desert lying in the western half Of
Iowa and extending to the Rocky mount
aims. In fact, Des Moines is situated in the
locality of what was then asserted to be part
of the great desert-Des Moines (Ia.) Regis

HELPING THE NEEDY.
Millionaire Alger Makes Good Use
of His Snare Cash.

DETROIT. Mich, Dec. GA year ago
Gov. Alger gave suits of clothes to 800
newsboys and sent coal and wood and
flour to hundreds of homes. This year
he will repeat his gift, only on a larger
scale. From lists furnished to his sec
retary by persons who have means of
knowing who are the legitimate and de-
serving newSbOys of Detroit, the needy
newsboyS will be selected and sent. 100
at time, to certain designated clothing
stores, where they will be carefully
fitted out with coats and trousers of
stout cloth, made TO wear, and with
good shirts and stockings. The second
part of Gov. Alger's benefactiOn will
be to supply to 1000 families in Detroit
a cord of wood or ton of coal, together
with a barrel of -four. In the
list of the families to be aided by the
thoughtful and generous millionaire
appear brief notes of the causes which
entitle them to the help extended. In
these brief notes is epitOmized many a
story of misfortune, suffering and
wrong. There are poor widows with
from three to nine little children; a
family where the father and husbo nd is
insane: another where he is decrepid
old soldier, almost blind and entirely
incapable of work; another in the
Soldiers home, while his wife struggles
heroically to supply the wants of the
eight children: deserted wife with five
small children, the wife detormed, yet
struggling against the cruel decree of
tate. So it runs through the list. a
record of the miseries, the sorrow and
despair that are the gaunt followers in
tie wake of poverty.

Escaped From Jail.

BROOKLYN, n. Y, Dec. 26.-Jack
Krause. who was detained at Raymond
Jail as witness in the case of Green
wall, the murderer of Lyman Weeks,
and who was himself suspected of COM
plicity in the murder. escaped during
last night and has not yet been recap
tured. He managed to bend the win
dow bars of his cell so that he could
squeeze his body through. He tied
three towels together as rope and let
himself down so far as they reached and
dropped from that point to the ground,
having first thrown his mattress ont to
fall on. In tins way he reached the
ground from the third story of the Jail
without injury. The cell was not 50
strong nor so well guarded as those of
the regular prisoners, as there was no
suspicion that Krause would try to
escape. Greenwal is sentenced to be
hanged soon, and witnesses against him
would doubtless be released after the
court of appeals acts on motion to re-
open the case, but it is supposed that
Krause feared that he would himself be
indicted as accessory TO the murder.

A New Coke Syndicate.

PITTsBURG. Pa, Dec. 26.-The coke
operators meeting tomorrow will prob
ably result in the formation of a
stronger syndicate than the one recently
disrupted. inasmuch as the leading inde-
pendent operators signified their will
ingnesS to become members of the new
organization. The Fl. G. Frick com
pany will not be included in the new
syndicate, but no opposition is eX-
pected from this firm. 1t has large con-
tracts with the Carnegies, who own
majority of the stock in the Frick
company, and for this reason its
said the Frick company willmaintain an
independent position. 1t is further re-
ported that Andrew Carnegie refused to
enter into combination with the other
coke operators, because it might not be
convenient for him to carry out the
agreement in case of a strike. During
the last strike he was placed in posi-
.tiOn where he had to have coke his
steel interests being greater than his
coke interests-and he could we'll afford
to sacrifice a few hundred dollars antt,
make 1t back in his steel mills.

features yester, ay at the Jackson Street
rink, the first con est at o'clock in the
afternoon being between the st. Georges
and st. p; uls, of this city. An hour and
half was consumed ere victory finally
perched upon the st. Paul banner, due
in great measure to the fine work of

ee goals while the visitors could

Quiet, But Merry.

+ WASHINGTON, Dec. 26.-Christmas
festivities that were appropriate on
Sun ay were ushered in with pleasant
weather and enjoyed here quietly to-
day. AS most of the national legisla-
tors and many public officials had gone
away from Washington to their homes
to spend the holidays. the native pOpu-
latlOn were free to enjoy the day in the
0ld-fashioned way, and they did so.
There were special religious services in
most of the churches, which were well
attended. The shadow of gloom caused
by the death of Secretary Manning ex-
tended to the presidents mansion and
net associates and interfered with
Christmas festivities there Altogether,
with the general public, it was an un-
usually quiet, but still a merry Christ

ton, headed by the eX-president of
Guatemala, Vincente Castano, against
the government of Gen. Barillas for

defeat. There were HtwO disaffected
factions, one working from the eastern
department and the other from the
western, the former under the general
ship of Castano and the latter In charge
of several well known militdry men
of the republic. In a range of noun
tains near the city of Guatemala, few
days, desperate battle was fought be-
tween the federal and revolutionary
forces, the latter suffering almost COM
plete annihilatiOn. The battle was deS-
perate and sanguinary from the COM
mencement and lasted over two hours,
the field being strewn with dead. At
the conclusion, CustanO's army was
routed and the other Revolutionary
generals were captured and shot. This
ends one of the most bloody wars the
country has ever. seen. The republic
now enjoys peace.
